Supreme Court of the United States February 21, 1996, 94-1453 (Peacock v. Thomas)

Justice Thomas

delivered the opinion of the Court.

This case presents the issue whether federal courts possess ancillary jurisdiction over new actions in which a federal judgment creditor seeks to impose liability for a money judgment on a person not otherwise liable for the judgment. We hold that they do not.
